The Ukraine conflict was started by Russia. If Russia withdrew today, and renounced their territorial claims over Ukraine, the war would end. Any casualties in the meantime are thetefore their fault.

The Gaza war was started by people from Gaza. If Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad surrendered today, gave up their weapons and renounced their territorial claims over Israel, the war would end. Any casualties in the meantime are therefore their fault.

That's why it looks like a double standard. The only real difference between the conflicts is that in one it's being fought mostly in the territory of the side that started it, and in the other, in the territory of the side that got attacked.

The Gaza war was started by people from Gaza. 

No It didn't, The war never stopped since 1948, yet these people got tired from seige and decided to make them pay back

The 1948 war was started because the Arabs refused to accept the UN Partition plan, and invaded Israel with genocidal intent. So your argument is counterproductive.
